Hey everyone, happy free music Friday! This week we have an Eastside Manor session from Australian group Boy and Bear. These guys have a really cool Fleet Foxes vibe and we reviewed them earlier in the year. If you’re a fan of folk …

Song Preservation Society – Ready Room
Sometimes we get carried away with comparisons. Greg and I often talk about how he compares Good Old War to The Beatles and how I completely understand what he means but that it just sounds so ridiculous. Well, it’s my turn. Song Preservation …
Those Willows – Rivertown (Free Download)
Those Willows is the kind of group that you look for when you’re searching through bandcamp. They have everything, a great folksy sound, great male/female harmonies, good songwriting, and a free download. While we always recommend supporting the artists like them that work …

Poor Moon – Illusion EP
Take yourself back in time for a moment. It’s 1968 and bell bottoms were hip. The airwaves were dominated by a curious mix of West Coast surf music and folksy love ballads. And the cars… were beautiful. The album Illusion by Poor Moon …
